Its been a busy weekend. Laura Beth was here to attend a baby shower, and Mason and Nick came along. Mason is still fascinated by a camera--he took pictures with grandma's help.

I don't think his parents were quite ready for portraits!

And then grandma showed him how to take a self portrait---

Mason took LOTS of pictures--of the ceiling, the floor--I think the phrase--"point and shoot" describes his style.

I did manage a few shots--

The weekend went by too quickly.

I planned to work on my blue/white blocks after they left. But the new blue and white fabrics were left in the camper--again! I decided to make sample blocks with some scraps---

The blocks are to be blue and white--and a star pattern. The first one is okay, I think the color values are not like the pattern. And the second block is nice--but there are a gadzillion pieces. 59? 60? Whew! They both squared up nicely--perfect 12.5".

Today Ken is planting beans. This picture is for Lee---

I head back to Yankton tomorrow. If anyone has seen South Dakota in the news--I volunteer above a Corps of Engineers dam. The dams will not "break". I personally am high above the river.

I'm glad you mentioned being high above the river. My mom has heard me talk about you, and she said a few days ago, "Your friend near the dam, is she going to be okay? " I tried to tell her you were assuredly safe, but she wasn't convinced!
